Hello,

 

I am hoping someone can clarify my import permit question. Is it required when taking the pet in cabin from the US? I have submitted my import permit request three weeks ago and have not heard back from [email protected]. I have contacted them several times but have not received any response. Since I am flying out next week, I am getting nervous that I will have issues coming back with the dog. My airline does not require a permit nor do I need one for the transit country. I read through the Importing a pet into Thailand link and could not find a definitive answer. Someone posted that you did not need a permit for an in cabin pet, yet other posts indicted they got an import permit for an in cabin pet. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Did you get the health certificate from the USDA? If not, you must get that no more than 10 days before leaving. The dog MUST have the LEPTO vaccine in order to be allowed into Thailand.
All pets need an import permit, but you can apply for one at the airport in Bangkok too. I sent them all my info by email and received it in a couple of days. Good luck.
